I got a box of mauser parts the other day, mostly barrel bands and some small pieces and in the box was a muzzle protector and a front band. I would guess it is for a carbine but no idea here are a couple of pictures of the brass protector and the front band that it fits

It was tried on a swede carbine and didn't fit but I was not there so maybe will take it back and check it out myself. Was there any mauser carbines that had these. I am not into military so not much experince in these
 
There are also some spanish & argentine carbines that have a similar nose cap. Kind of hard to tell if you don't have one in front of you though.
 
What would this be worth if it is for a swede 94 carbine, I believe that the gun it was tried on was a 94/14 which is diffenent then just a 94
 
Mauser Muzzle Protector

I looked in a few of my books on the Swede 94's and 94/17's and they show two different muzzle protectors. Both of the 94 & 94/17 have a flush barrel with the protector. In another book they show a barrel extension.
The book "The Swedish Mauser Rifles" 2nd Edition by Joe Poyer he shows a barrel flush with the protector.
The other book "Guns of the World" by Bonanza Books Page 181 Published in 1977. They explain why the barrels are extended due to early US Federal requirements for rifle barrel lengths to be over 18".
The examples shown don't have a stepped extension just the barrel protruding through the end cap.
The Argentine 1909 carbine has the exact end cap as shown here. An excellent picture of the Argentine 1909 carbine muzzle extension in the new book from Men At Arms, "Bolt Action Military Rifles of the World" page 291.
It was introduced in 1926.

The new book "Bolt Action Military Rifles of the World" is an excellent reference book. My wife ordered it and the book on the 1888 rifle from Joesalter.com.
Great books and must have to enlarge a firearms library.
